Saw 8 is coming and will start filming in September

The next instalment in torture behemoth Saw is due to start shooting in Toronto this September.

Saw: Legacy, the 8th part of the long-running horror franchise, will be produced by Dan Heffner and Oren Koules who have overseen the rest of the series. There’s no cast or director confirmed yet, though, according to Bloody Disgusting.

James Wan’s first Saw movie – which he co-wrote with Leigh Whannell – was a low budget hit that became a massive breakout success way back in the early ’00s.

Now the franchise is a cash cow complete with merchandising, spin-off games and comics and its own ride at Thorpe Park.

Yeah you get the feeling that although all movies are made to make money there comes a point with a series like this that the only single reason it is being made is for money, no artistic or real entertainment value
